I think we are a long way from anyone walking back from Windows. It will be an uphill battle for Google due to the lack of privacy awareness (I'm not saying Microsoft is better or worse, just that Google is not looked upon kindly in the privacy regard)

Perhaps. But I also think that, of the people who are sticking to the heavyweight fat-client model of computing, some are doing so for technical reasons and others are doing so for principled reasons. If Google's softening on the "everything must be a web app" removes the technical barriers, I could imagine an expansion of Chrome OS. As a paying FastMail customer, I'm right there with you on Google's privacy posture. But given the number of corporate G-Suite customers, I don't think principled rejection of Google over privacy concerns is the major impediment to Chrome OS adoption.
